About fifty private bankers on Miireso-
Ia met in st. Paul a few days ago. when
the Minnesota Bankers association was
organized. There are at present seventy.
eight bankers, representing the same num-
Der Of banks, members OF the association.
The association adopted a constitution
aaa By lars similar 90 tho american
Bankers association,
The following officers were elected for the
ensuing year..
President, c. D. Griffith, Brown county;
vice president, III. r. Wells, Fillmore o
ty; secretary, Il. R. Smith, LIE Sueur county;
treasurer w. b. Parsons, Dodge county;
executive cc9ncii, II. B. Strait, Scott

Gus Johnson, Kandiy Obi county; t.. Kells.
Stearns county; NJ. Doran, lie Sueur eouu-
ty; Il. D. Dyer, 0lmsted county; J.. X.
Mayer. Chippewa county.
One OF the objects Of the assocaitionisto
protect the private bankers against the
law passed last winter. which in brief pro-
vides.
No person or persons engaged ia the bust.
ness OF banking in this state, not subject
to the suspension OF the bank examiner,
shall make use OF fanny Office sign having there.
on any artificial or corporate name, nor
shall such person make use OF or circulate
any letter-heads, blank receipts, etc, hav.
ing thereon a corporate name.
Many OF the private bankers OF the state
have been doing business under corporate
names, al the Bank OF lie Sueur." This
law will compel them to drop the corpor-
ate name and do business after the first Of
the year as 'tDoran & Smith, bankers, : or
to incorporate under the state law with a
capital according to the population OF the
town or city in which the bank is located.
The law is claimed to be unconstitutional,
for the reason that only ninety members
of the legislature voted for it, aud thatit
requires d two-thirds vote to change the
banking laws OF the state. Further, that
the state had nc aa5iIority to confiscate
the stationery and other property of the
banks, as the law practically meant it
should do. Probably a test case win be
made up for q decision by The courts.

Tne minnesota Leprosy cases.

The Fergus Falls Journal publishes an
article from a correspondent at Rothsay,
near which place the cases OF ieprosy re-
Gently mentioned in the Pioneer Press are
supposed TO exist. The correspondent Wis
tied the families of Christopher Kiono and
Biorgen Shaldrup, the names Of the par.
ties afflicted with disease, which In Norway
is called ''Spedalskhede.' The CORE
spondent writes:
Kjono first exhibited traces OF leprosy at
the age Of eighteen in Norway. He ia now
forty-ive years of age. At the age of thir-
ty he removed to the United States, was
married to a woman similarly affected,
and is now described as having a hairless
face and head. and destroyed palate, and
has suffered the partial loss OF his fingers.
In some districts in Norway, where the in
habitan IS hSe-larse en- E fish diet,
the disease is very ommon 1t does
the leprosy referred to in the Bible.
That IL is not contagious is proved by the
fact that in the case c. Sheldrup neither
his wife nor young child has the slightest
trace OF the disease which atlicts the hus-
band and iather. In Norway the families
afflicted are not isolated nor avoided by
their neighbors. / find that modern lep.
rosy is divided into two general classes,
viz: Flephantiasis tuberosa, and ele-

Is manifest in the integument and the
mucous membrane. This variety In
cludes the more contagious kinds and
Is distinguished by the formation
OF tubercles under the skin, and liberation
OF the surfaced This constitutes the lepro-
ey of the middle ages, and 10 found at the
present day in Iceland, Africa, East and
West Indies. and 10 many tropical islands.
The other variety is distinguished by affec
49,
absence OF ~sensibility on the general sur
face and the dropping Of OF the fingers and
toes. The subdivision distinguished par
ticnlarly for the latter effect, is termed
elephantiasis muttanso, Joint evil.
This is the spidalsk of the Norwegian
fisherman and the form OF leprosy import
ed into this country ircm Norway. 1T is
the opinion Of the doctors that many
forms Of disease now claimed as leprosy
win be distinguished by some more appro-
pirate name in the near future when the
Difference ii their progress, in their charae-
ter. in their fatality and their powers OF
injection shall be more fully known. The
ancient leprosy of the Hebrews, owing to
its peculiar effects upon the skin, hiss been
termed by physicians ~leucaderma or
white skim and regulated to the list
OF skin diseases IS have many other
cutaneous affections, the nature OF which
been established Dy modern inquiry.
Some OF those who have made the matter
in all it's bearings q thorough study, claim
it TO be hersdithry: some ascribe II to the
use 81 pntrid meats or ash; some lay it to
q lack OF vegetable food and some to d.
rect contact with leprous alterations; some
consider filthy habits, insufficient food and
exposure To weather, both cold anG damp,
necessary to becoHs infected. All agree
that the eating Of fish ~aggravates the dis
ease, and all concede that it IL at present
incurable.

FIJI LAW.
Senator Cullorn to Present Amend

crease tho Efficacy of the Act,

mentS Whereby He Expects to Inc
crease tho Efficacy Of the Act.
Senator Cullom, chairman OF the inter.
state commerce committees, has prepared
amendments to the interstate lev which ne
will present to the senate at an early day.
Those amendments embody the most i'm
portant suggestions bkat nave been made
az to defects in the law. including the rec
concentrations OF the interstate commits
sioners. Following is a synopsis OF the
more important provisions:
"Te extend the provisions OF the act
Sc as to make the act apply
to express companies, sleeping car
companies, drawing room cars, palace car
companies, stock car companies, tank car
companies and any other companies, as
soeiations or persons furnishing for public
use upon railroads, cars or other instru-
mentaHties for the transportation oi pas-
sengers or property This ia intandad 40
include every possible monopoly, like the
Standard OH company, which uses the
rails. The words or other carriers"
are inserted twice in the filth
section, SO as to prohibit mo
only pooling between different railroads,
but between different railroads and other
carriers. In the sixth section which reia tes
to the publication Of rates, the provisions
with respect to tine advance and reduction
in rates are repeated so as TO amply spe-
officially to joint through rates. This
amendment is proposed because the com
mission express in tkeir report some doubt
as to whether these provisions do so ap-
ply. AS to the short haul pro vision it is
provided that where complaint is made
against " or more carriers for violating
1t and the violations occur between
points on thu road Of one only,
that road only shall be held liable for
the violation. An addition ia section Is,
which relates to compensation for dam
ages, is proposed, that when a complain.
ant is seeking to recover damages the car.
rier may file with the commission it's
consent that the commission may pass
upon the question OF damages, and the de-
cision OF the commission shall stand as a
Judgment, which may be enforced by execu-
ton by q United States marshal in the
same manner or as judgments of the Unit.
ed States circuit court are enforced. II
payment is not made, the complainant
may proceed in any United States court Of
competent jurisdiction torecover damages,
and the report Of the commission shall be
prima facie evidence OF the fact found.
Provision is also made to take the COM
mission out OF the jurisdiction OF the i'm
terror department, and to require it to
report direct to congress. The object is
to maxi the commission independent OF
any administration.
